This Just Might Be The Most Beautiful Hike In All Of Cleveland
Hiking season is upon us and Clevelanders are gearing up for adventure throughout the warmer months. Locals know that the parks throughout our region are breathtaking, but the Cleveland Metroparks stand out as the most spectacular natural spaces in Northeast Ohio. One of the most beautiful hikes, however, is hidden in the southernmost reservation of the part district:

Tucked away in Hinckley Reservation between West and East Drives is a spectacular trail that encircles a lovely lake.
This pretty place is fueled by the Rocky River Watershed, and it is filled with a fascinating variety of native fish. Largemouth bass are especially plentiful in this lake, and many local fishermen have captured some spectacular specimens.
If you bring your pup for a walk with you (which you totally should - this terrain is enthralling to adventurous spirits of all species), the benches provide an opportunity to fuel up with water and take a quick break.
Though Whipp's Ledges and Worden's Ledges are also lovely, they're a bit dangerous to visit as darkness is stretching its wings across the region. The lake here and its adjacent Spillway Swim Area are both near the reservation's main road, and the clearly defined trail makes it hard to get lost.
This gorgeous hike is enchanting in every season, but there truly is nothing like watching the sunset over Hinckley Lake in the spring and summer months. What is your favorite attraction in the Cleveland Metroparks?
For another mesmerizing hike, visit this Summit County park.
